Function

Self assembles to form a helical capsid wrapping up the viral genomic DNA. The capsid displays a filamentous structure with a length of 760-1950 nm and a width of 6-8 nm. The virion assembly and budding take place at the host inner membrane.

Notes

The display of repertoires of antibody fragments on the surface of filamentous phage offers a new way to produce immunoreagents with defined specificities. Phage derived antibody fragments offer a number of advantages over mouse monoclonal antibodies, such as better clearance from the blood, the possibility to select from human combinatorial libraries and the relative ease by which such fragments can be manipulated. The phage display technique thus facilitates the selection of antibody fragments of therapeutic value or research interest. Antibodies to M13 filamentous phage coat proteins are instrumental in the selection and detection of phages expressing specific antibody fragments or peptide sequences at their surface.

Activity summary

The M13 bacteriophage coat protein g8p also known simply as g8p plays a mechanical role in forming the protective sheath around the phage's single-stranded DNA. The molecular weight of g8p is approximately 5 kDa. It is an important component of the M13 bacteriophage typically expressed within the bacterial host after phage infection. As one of the coat proteins g8p drives the assembly of new phage particles by arranging itself into helical structures that encapsulate the viral genome.

Biological function summary

G8p's function extends beyond just structural support for the phage. It participates in the assembly of the M13 phage which is part of the extrinsic complex necessary for phage propagation. During this process g8p cooperates closely with other proteins to manage the packaging of genetic material and ensure successful phage extrusion from the bacterial host. Functionally g8p aids in maintaining phage integrity and viability directly affecting the efficiency of phage propagation within the microbial environment.

Pathways

G8p has an essential role in the M13 bacteriophage lifecycle. It facilitates the phage's extrusion pathway where newly formed phage particles exit the bacterial cell. This pathway involves interactions with proteins like the M13 p9 (g9p) protein ensuring efficient phage release and infection of nearby bacterial cells. The interaction among these proteins through the extrusion pathway is critical for the replication and spread of the M13 bacteriophage.

Associated diseases and disorders

G8p as a component of phage display technology interacts indirectly with a variety of disorders particularly bacterial infections. M13 phage display systems use g8p to present peptides or proteins on the phage surface aiding in identifying molecules that can target infectious agents. Although g8p's primary function does not link directly to specific diseases its application in phage display connects it with therapeutic and diagnostic developments potentially interacting with proteins involved in bacterial pathogenesis.
